RE: One photo (or more) every day: Tree Tops in a Snowfall (258/365)
@dromzz lives in a remote rural area. Wolves frequently kill pets and livestock in the country and pose a danger to small children. What to do with the great predators in the wild is a perennial tug of war between nature conservationists in the cities and rural people.
I'm a farm boy, grew up with all kinds of critters trying to eat our livestock, or us if we interfered. Coyotes, wolves, coywolves, bob cats, mountain lion once, etc. I'm also an avid hiker and have run into some big examples of why humanity wasn't always on top of the food chain.
Human expansion is driving countless species to the brink of extinction.
Hmm, what I would do If I've been living in the remote rural area. I'd probably teach my kids about safety first.
And probably buy a gun or a crossbow. Or a lightsaber.
Wolfs would think twice before coming to my house.
It should be noted that wolves or bears have not killed people in Finland for a long time. They're not killing several people every year or not even every decade. They keep away from humans but that's because humans are dangerous to them and they know it.
I totally agree with you. I think the most dangerous live being is human.
Absolutely. But if we stopped persecuting wolves if they get too near us, they might stop fearing us and cause danger.
That is unfortunately true. Whole ecosystems are collapsing.
